WEDDING DAY TIMELINE

Pursuit Seattle

Ceremony (arrive early to find parking!)

Ballard Elks Lodge #827

Reception

Our Wedding

It was April Fools Day of the year 2021, and a completely ‘random guy’ decides to message a girl on Instagram. The girl, hanging with her friend, consults her friend and asks if she should even respond; the friend, knowing it was April Fools Day, encouraged the girl to respond as a joke— so she did, not knowing that one joke of a response would lead to stumbling upon her husband... and now, 3 years later, here we are: Two High School Band Directors (Graham-Kapowsin HS & Bonney Lake HS) doing their best to make an impact on the world through sharing the Love & Joy of the Creator! Well... obviously there is A LOT more to this story, but you’ll have to wait until the wedding to find out more about our wild & wondrous journey. Until then, God Bless, ~ CHEERS!
